Food Storage Tips

Wash foods before storing.

Divide and separate foods into smaller

pieces.

Place watery foods or foods with a lot of

moisture in front shelves (close to door

side). If they are placed close to the

cold air spout, they can be frozen.

Warm or hot foods should be cooled

down enough before storing to reduce

power

consumption and to enhance

refrigeration performance.

Be careful in storing tropical fruits such

as bananas, pineapples and tomatos,

as they can easily deteriorate in lower

temperatures.

Keep enough space between foods.

If too tight or too close, cold air

circulation is hindered, resulting in poor

refrigeration.

Never forget to cover or wrap foods to

prevent odours.

11

Something strange?

Don’t worry. Here is the

answer.

Case Explanation

Heat

Front and side of refrigerator

feels warm or hot.

●

Pipes (refrigerant vessel) are placed beneath

the surface to prevent moisture forming on it.

Door

is

sticky

Doors do not open easily.

●

When you close the door and then open it

again immediately, the door is not easy to

open. Warm air rushes into the inside to cre

ate the pressure difference. In this case wait

for a minute, it willthen open easily.

Strange

Sound

It sounds like water is owing

from the refrigerator.

●

When the compressor starts to run or stops,

refrigerant which makes the inside cold owing

in the pipes can make such a sound.

●

Defrosted water can also make such a

sound. (This refrigerator adopts an automatic

defrosting system.)

Cracking or clicking sounds.

●

Inside parts shrink and/or expand due to

temperature change --- When the inside gets

cold or when the door is open, such sounds

can be made.

Humming or buzzing sounds.

●

Compressor or fans for cold air circulation can

make such working sound. (If the refrigerator

is not level, the sound can be louder.)

Frost

& Dew

Dew or frost on the wall and/or

food container surface in

the freezer and refrigerator

compartment.

Frost and/or dew can be made in the following

cases;

●

High temperature and/or high humidity around

the refrigerator.

●

When doors are open too long.

●

Foods with much moisture are stored

uncovered or unwrapped.

※

You can see the same appearance when

cold water is poured in a glass cup and dew

is forming on the surface of it.

Dew on the cabinet surface.

●

If it is highly humid around the refrigerator,

moisture in the air sticks to the surface to form

dew.
